The Myall Junior Golf Academy would like to thank all those community members who have donated prizes, money and equipment over the year with special thanks to Rob Hodgson who donated a share of his eagles’s nest winnings after posting a well deserved hole-in-one recently.
As always thanks go to Steve Denning and Eddy Groot, Hawks Nest Golf Club and the staff of Tea Gardens Public School, to our knowledge this is the only program of its kind in NSW.
